The remarkable progress of the Teutonic forces in their drive through Galicia en route tc Russia is now a matter of military history.

In their advance they were aided great ly by the use of automobiles and railways.

Pollock on behalf of Zimmer, filed numerous pleadings looking to a dismissal of the case. Each in turn was overruled. Then S. M. Brewster, attorney general, brought activities to a sudden termin ation by demanding that Zimmer him self take the stand.

LATEST FORD STORY. Detroit, Mich., Aug. 9. Here's the latest Ford story: During a "war scare" In this country, certain officers of the Michigan National Guard were or dered to locate emergency supplies. One called on Ford and asked if he could supply the chassis for a large number of ambulances. "Yes," Ford replied, "if you don't want too many. I could supply 1.000 a day. But we would have to be given due notice of your needs." "How much time would you want?" queried the officer, bracing himself for a demanl of several months. "Well," Ford replied thoughtful "Tou ought to let us know not later than 4 o'clock of the day before deliveries were to start." FIRE ISJRETURNED George Clark Comes Back at Governor Capper. He Says Others Are Alarmed Besides Himself. George A. Clark, secretary of the Republican League, today made a brief statement concerning Governor Capper's reply to the recent Dean- Clark charges. In a short, snappy in terview the Topeka man declares the governor misquoted his recent inter view and states frankly there are sev eral political truths of which Gover nor Capper should be advised. Among other things, Clark takes exception to the governor's statement that the Progressives were better qualified for office under his admin istration than the standpatters. Ho also notes the fact that the editorial columns of the Capper publications have been free from criticism of the conservative Republican leaders since the firing of the Dean broadside. '"Mr. Clark finds fault with my ap pointments, declaring I have given all the places to the so-called Progres sives," Clark read from the governor's recent statement. "That appears to be a studied mis representation," declared Clark. "There is not one word in my inter view in regard to patronage. My crit icism was about the character of edi torials appearing in the governor's 57 varieties of papers. When a conserva tive Republican was mentioned for president he was blacklisted and pointed out as a representative of the interests that could not be trusted by the people." After that statement, Clark pro ceeded to make a few plain, frank, unvarnished remarks. "The governor is ignorant of the true conditions, politically," the con servative Republican leader declared. "No administration has been more se verely criticized. I feel that I am in position t know the sentiment of the conserva tive Republicans and the "governor guesses it when he says I am alarmed. Further the governor's recent s.tate ment that he had to go to the Pro gressives to find men competent to discharge the duties of the office he had to fill, will not add materially to his popularity in 1916. "However, I have not noticed the words 'standpatism' and 'reactionar ies' in the columns of the Capital since Dean's jolt. My guess is that they won't appear as frequently as in the past which all tends to show that someone other than myself may be 'alarmed.'

CITY HALLKNOCKS The Good Roads Proclamation 'Issued by Got. Capper Does "ot Appeal to Mayor House or Tandy. The plan of Arthur Capper, govern or, for every able-bodied person in the state to do a day's work on the roads on "Good Roads" day does not meet with a hearty response from W. G. Tandy, city commissioner of streets. "It is all a lot. of foolishness and as nearly as I can learn the plan Is for everybody to tell somebody elsew hut to do. I am bothered to death by persons calling me up wanting me to organize this ounch or that bunch of fellows. "The idea of a lot of soft orfice men going out to work ther oads seems foolish to me. If their time is worth anything at all and they really mean business, itw ould be a good deal more sensible for them to pas the hat among themselves and hire persons to work the roads who not only know how the work should be done, but who are physically able to do it. They should puss the hat anyway for money will be needed to put ther oada back in shape again after these inexperi enced enthusiasts get through tearing them up under the mistaken impres sion that they are helping them. "I understand a part f the nlan is for persons to go over all the roads in the county, carrying maps with them and marking all the bad places. These bad places are to be reported to the township trustees just another instance o telling the oth?r fellow what to do. These township officers know where ihe b&d places are al ready. Just let them have the non to spend and the ro;ids w'll be fix?d." "Yes, but simply getting the desiied results in the usual way would not pernv.t a lot of enthusiasts and re formers to make a splurge in the newspapers," said Mayor House. "Most reforming is done in the news papers. Without the newspapers it would not be worth while. To re formers the worth while part is in having it pppear in the newspapers.

THE TOPEKA DAILY STATE JOUPTTAT MONDAY EVENINGS AUGUST 9, 1915. 7 JOYLESS TIME FOR JOY RIDERS Terrific Storm Overtakes Auto mobillsts and Motorcyclists. Dozens of Cars Unable to Come In Without Help. FEW SERI0US ACCIDENTS Touring Car With Seven Pas sengers Jumps Into Field; Garage Men Kept Busy Far Into the Night. Old J. PIuv. greased the skids for scores of automobile drivers and motorcycle riders on roads south and east of Topeka late Sunday afternoon and evening. It is estimated that nearly a hundred autos and motor cycles were stuck in the mud or were forced to stop because of Klippery roads and weather the terrific and sudden storm which broke late in the afternoon. Between fifty and seventy-? five of the autoists were stranded near "Wakarusa. Half as many came to grief on a three-mile stretch of road beginning about a mile west of Wat son, twelve miles southeast of Topeka. Two accidents occurred, .on.- the Watson road.' In both instances per sons narrowly escaped death. One of the accidents occurred when a motor cycles skidded, two miles west of Wat son, and went into p. ditch. The ma chine was ridden, by a man 'and a woman. The woman sustained a painfully bruised shoulder when the machine toppled over on her. The names of the two riders are unknown. A few minutes later a car driven by Frank Hook, who lives two miles west of Watson, carrying seven pass engers, skidded on the stretch of road, turned end for end, dived across a ditch and turned on its side in a wire fence. The car was damaged con siderably but the occupants were un scratched. Three Miles of Soap. Drivers who tried to pilot their ma chines over the Watson road describe it as three miles of "soap and grease." Farmers along the highway lost much sleep while pulling the ma chines to safety. Oscar Wolf, circu lation manager of The. State Journal, and wife, were driving" over the road just after the storm, arid weftt' farced to send out the S.- R: "faaJlf to Ed Downs, living a short distance west of Watson, for help.- .Downs responded with a team of horses. A number of machines were pulled over the dan gerous piece of road by Downs during tho evening. Others caught on the Watson road were Edward Polly, 410 Madison street, and his family. Among the motorcycle riders who did not arrive in Topeka until a late hour, owing to the condition of the road, are: Air. and Mrs. A. D. Scott, Mr. and Mrs. H. B Hoover, Nathan Brown and Carl Morris. Two and one-half inches of rain fell south and southeast of Topeka. Local garage men received dozens of calls for help from persons stranded. Real Trouble at Wakarusa. The real trouble of the day occurred near Wakarusa. Hundreds of Tope kans go to this point every Sunday for picnics and swimming. Yesterday was a good day for this kind of an outing. Thinly clad autoists swarmed out south of the city during the day with Wakarusa as their terminal. When the black cloud came up from the west it caused a panic. Inhabitants of the "Island" grabbed their be longings and carried them across the creek, fearing a sudden rise of water. Persons in swimming ducked behind trees, pulled off their bathing 'suits, slapped on enough clothes to come under the provisions of the law, and made for their automobiles and the railway station. Then the trip to Topeka wonder of wonders! From a smooth dust road to raging torrents and hub-deep mud. One Topekan with a powerful ma chine and plenty of chains, stated that at one time near one hill, thirty-six cars were stuck, stalled or sliding in the ditch. Men and women in Sun day clothes were drenched to the skin. One man with a Palm Beach suit and red auto cushions created a sensation. n Steaming radiators, whirling wheels, screaming women and resolute and sometimes cursing men made a scene not often witnessed in the quiet val leys of the Wakarusa. Cars chugged into town at an early hour this morning. Others were res cued todav. IRELAND EXALTS FLAG. St. Paul Prelate Conveys Message of Freedom to Catholics. St. Paul. Aug. 9.

Claude Koonz decided Sun day that an inquest into the deaths of the two men killed on me speeaway yesterday would not be necessary. Mulford was awarded the first prize, De Palma second and Eddie O'Donnell third. The other prize winners were: W. W. Brown, fourth place; W. Barn dollar, fifth; Pete Henderson, sixth; and W. J. Shrunk, seventh place. Tom Alley, who drove for H. W. Ogren under an arrangement with Barney Oldfield, declared before leav ing for Chicago that he intended to protest against the official ruling of the race officials. He said he was en titled to either fifth or sixth piace. There was little change in the con dition of Driver Billy Chandler, who was injured in the second of the ac cidents in which his mechanician, Morris Keeling, was killed, or of Louis Piel, who was in the car in which Joe Cooper, the driver, was killed. Coop er's body was taken to Sebring, Ohio, his home, Sunday night. That of Keeling was sent to St. Paul. Funer al services in which the other drivers participated, were held before the bodies were shipped. CAPTURES PRAGA. Continued from Page One.l looking to this end are reported by Vienna, where the claim is made that Archduke Joseph Ferdinand's army has forced the Russians in disorder across the Vleprz. near Lubartov and southwest of Mlechow. Unofficial ad vices from Austrian headquarters in dicate that a split in the Russian lines caused by these operations may spell danger to the forces thus divided. The probability that troops retiring from the vicinity of Ivangorod will protect the line of retreat, however, is sug gested. XiOndon StiU Hopeful. Military observers in London ex pressed opinion that the entrapping at tempts will fail, gathering from the official reports indications that the Russians may now be expected to reach their new line safely. Latest official reports from Rome recount activity by Italian mountain troops, resulting in gains. In Cadore the Austrians have been forced back as far as the south slopes of Burg stall, in the valley of Sexten, the state ment declares, while counter attacks by the Austrians on the Carso plateau are characterized as weak, and easily repulsed. The Austrian official report declares all Italian attempts to advance were repulsed. CZAR REJECTS PEACE OFFER. Great Struggle In East to Go on to Bitter End. London, Aug. 9. Russia having re jected what in England is regarded as a bona fide proposal made by the German emperor for peace with a part of Poland traded for Galicia, the great struggle in the east must con tinue, and as there is no indication of an immediate general offensive by either side in the west, the struggle of the Russian forces to shake them selves free of the Austro-German grip remains the chief factor in the war news, with an added interest in the Dardanelles operations. All Eyes on GallipoU. The Gallipoli field will be closely watched because of its possible bear ing on the Balkin situation, again sim mering, by reason of renewed quad ruple entente pressure on Bulgaria and Greece. Never has the impor tance of the operations at the Darda nelles been more keenly realized In Great Britain and France than now, especially as there are many indica tions that Germany plans to deliver her next hard blow against Serbia in order to link up with Turkey and thus checkmate the spring plans of the entente allied powers. It is in creasingly manifest that Germany looks to the east for settlement of the war. By overrunning Serbia she would occupy a very favorable stra tegic position to invoke- Bulgaria's passive or active aid in reaching Con stantinople along the main line. The expectations of such a move doubtless has brought about renewed negotia tions, between the entente allies and Bulgaria. The Turks' claim successes in tha recent trench warfare on the Galli poli peninsula, but there really has been no noteworthy change in the situation, so far as the public is aware. The Austro-Germans continue to make progress both to the northeast and the southeast of Warsaw and the Austro-Hungarians claim to have cut in two the Russian forces which, re treated after losing the Lublin-Chelm railroad.

Raol Madero Approves AH-Amerlcan Program! Kinsman of Late President Is sues Pacific Statement. El Paso, Tex., Aug. 9. General Raol Madero, commander of a di vision of the Villa forces and Villa governor of Nuevo Leon state, and a member of the family of the late President Francisco Madero, issued a statement which was made public to day on the peace plan of the Pan American conference. After prefacing the statement with a declaration that the subject matter was his personal views, of no official weight or signi ficance, General Madero said: "The present diplomatic situation appears to me as exceedingly well de veloped from the standpoint of inter national relations of the United States with Latin-America. Peace With Honor. "Nothing is more desired by the Mexican people than the re-establishment of peace and stable government, but the pride of a sovereign people naturally demands that if assistance must come from an outside source, it must be accomplished with honor to ourselves and not in any way infring ing our national pride. "During this revolution many peo ple have openly advocated what Is called armed intervention. President Wilson followed the even course, which now seems to be culminating in a satisfactory solution. Aot a Lscless Struggle. "The Mexican revolution has not been a useless struggle. "President Porfirio Diaz failed to develop his people. It was necessary for the people of Mexico to go through the struggle of the revolution in order to accomplish what I might term a healthy evolution from practical serfdom to democratic government The people of Mexico are begin ning now to think for themselves. In 1910 the principal reforms fought for were political; that is to say, a cer tain man for president with no re election, and equal franchise. The agrarian problem was considered in a secondary way. Healthy Growth Apparent. "Today as evidenced not only by the successive plans of the several leaders, but the acts and statements of the leaders and the people as well, we have a very patent indication of the healthy growth which the Mexican people have gone through and that the finished product Is very nearly ready to emerge from the furnace. It is my belief that foreign capital must and will be encouraged to invest in Mexico and It will receive every guar antee and protection. I don't mean that special privileges should be given. as was the rule of Porfirio Diaz, but that capital tending to establish in dustries and earn its right to be in vested will be encouraged. "One thing which must be dealt with is a sound and safe tariff law. As an example, since Mexico has much raw material and unskilled labor, in fant industries should be guarded. The export of raw material should be dis couraged and the export of the fin ished products should be facilitated by the abandonment of export duties on such products." K. L. of S., 7; Tecumseh, 5. K.

STORY ANTE-DATES GENESIS Eating of Cassia Tree Cuts Span of Life." Curse Spells "Early Death"; Career Once 50,000 Years. Philadelphia, Aug. 9. It was not Adam and Eve who brought about the fall of man, but Noah, according' to a translation of a tablet now in the University of Pennsylvania museum. An announcement to this effect was made today by a representative of the museum. According to the Sumerian theology found on the tablet which is said to have been written before the days of Abraham and translated by Dr. Steven Langdon, professor of Assyriology in Oxford university, England, Noah was ordered not to eat of the cassia tree in the garden of Paradise and when he disobeyed the curse fell upon him. The curse was that he should have ill health and an early death instead of living to be 50,000 years old like his ancestors. According to the announcement made today, Dr." Langdon bestowed much labor on the subject of the fall of man, not only in translating the tablet, but in comparing it with every known tablet or historical ac count of any kind as well as with the account in the book of Genesis. Dr. Langdon, according to the an nouncement, says this tablet is at least a thousand years older than the Gen esis account and so far as is known is the oldest record of the sort in ex istence. The tablet was written more than 4,000 years ago, possibly 5,000 years, and evidently records a tradition which goes back to the early his tory of man. The Babylonian and Sumerian accounts place the flood at something like 3,500 B." C, and the lapse of time between the creation and the flood is filled with ten kings who reigned altogether 432,000 years, an average of 43,200 years each. The reason that later kings reigned com paratively short periods is that Noah sinned in eating of the cassia tree. CROP REPORT.

This selling was of only temporary effect, how ever. Industrials began another upturn and railroad Issues grew steady again. Motors. Steel and railway equipment issues rose vigorously. Speculation was quieter, bnt there seemed to be a rood outside de mand. Westingbouse Electric was marked up 2 points to a new high record at 114. The advance of General Motors was increased to 15 points, at 219, and Willvs Overland rose 5 to 152, both high records. Bonds were irregular. All of the war shares were higher at the opening today. A widely circulated report that a war order amounting to more than $200,000,000 was to be placed, stimulated bidding for these shares. Crucible Steel, which developed a reactionary tendency on Saturday, showed renewed strength today and advanced six points. Bethlehem Steel gained 10 and among th ohr war stocks there were advances of a point or more. General Motors made a new record by ris ing 12 points to 216.

Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 9. Believing his advanced age and an occasional attack of rheumatism would preclude Judicious handling of great wealth. Father William Graham,- pastor of St. Patrick's Roman Catholie'church, has declined to accept a fortune of from J12,000,000 to $15,000,000, left him recently through the death of rela tives in Sydney, Australia, and Bo livia, South America. "I have no desire to add to my burdens a lot of wealth that would bring me no satisfaction," said the Rev. Father Graham.

A large section of Topeka, includ ing the business portion, was without electric light for a half-hour Sunday night. But while the lights were not gleaming there was a brilliant elec trical display. Static electricity was the cause of the trouble. It burned a hole in one of the electric cables leading into the Capital building. Eighth avenue and Jackson street. A hole was burned in the insulation and the current leaked from the cable where it came in contact with an iron fire escape. Molten drops of the fire escape and in contact with the high voltage cur rent fell to the ground.

USE STATE HOUSE HAY W. A. S. Bird and T. X. Jones Formu late a Program for City Welfare. Hay for the animals of the Gage park zoo. Lots of it on the state house grounds say W A. S. Bird and T. X. Jones, a member of the legislature and Topeka's own landscape gardener, re spectively. Mr. Bird and Mr. Jones held a conference recently for the pur pose of discussing the appearance of the state house grounds, and incident ally the appearance of the town in general. The heavy rains have brought the weeds and grass on the 20 are plot in the center of the city up to a point where the grounds look like a hay field instead of the lawn of the state capitol. And these two men are in favor of turning the cutting of this crop to the use of the city. "This hay," says Mr. Jones, "will be hauled away by private parties if nothing is done about it, and the city may as well have the use of it." "Topeka is paying the new city physician $150 a month to look after the physical welfare of the people, and he is doing nothing along this line," says Mr. Jones. "Part of this money could be spent to a better advantage if men were employed instead to look after the trees and parkings."

Germany's proposal to arbitrate the questions involved in the "William P. Frye case would seem to indicate that she has the disposition to meet us half way in some matters, at least, and it would appear that we. should be willing to do our part .in the premises. Why no daily official war state ments from England, as formerly1? Nuthin' doin. perhaps. Nor is there any particular reason for wonder over the faHing off in the revenues from state hunting licenses. The game laws of Kansas are such these days that about the only use a man has for a gun is to indulge in target practice, unless his idea of game hunting is confined to the shoot ing of rabbltsv. Possibly some of that close to a quarter of a million dollars that has gone to the several receivers, or to the receiverships of the Kansas Natural Gas company might have been used to advantage in the development and strengthening of the physical proper ties of the company. Maybe the Russians are going to entice the German hosts into the chilly regions of Siberia and freeze them to death. Should the Great War end in the near future, Great Britain would Btill be able to point with pride to the fact that she is possessed of a navy whose units, tonnage and theoretical fighting force is superior to the combined naval strength of any other two of the world-powers. George W. Perkins ought to know whereof he speaks when he says that the Progressive party will be alive and kicking in the presidential cam paign of 1916. George is the gener ous gentleman who buys most of' the hay for the Bull Moose. At any rate, this is not the first time that Warsaw has been captured, and ft may not be the last. Will the newspapers in the eastern section of the country please note that the tornado insurance companies are to make material reductions in their rates for Kansas? This is the best possible proof that Kansas is not open to the charge of being a "cyclone Btate." But the eastern papers are not likely to be desirous of any such proof. It would spoil too many a sen sational story for them. If the Germans get by such a name as Novogeorgievek, there probably isn't anything that can stop them. Maybe .man is like a petunia, as Luther Burbank. the plant wizard, de clares, also because there are so many of them that nobody has the slightest compunctions about plucking as many sls he cares to. SAVE MONEY NOW. There are two good reasons why everybody should exert himself to save a little more money now than com monly, urges Collier's, and it con tinues: A purely selfish reason is that saving now counts more than saving during ordinary times. A dollar saved now will yield larger returns than a dollar saved two or three years ago. and more probably than a dollar saved two or three years in the future. Money saved now can be in vested with as much safety as is hu manly achievable so as to -bring in 5 per cent or more. A few years ago savings invested in securities of simi lar strength would yield only S per cent. When -this war is over the world is going to be very poor. Per sons who have any money at all are going to be relatively rich. Those who save now will possess the world later on. Another reason for savins now is that it is the best thins a non combatant can do to help the world from the fate that is being brought upon it by the war. Accumulated sav ings are the basis of civilization. Out of accumulated savings hospitals are founded, railroads are built, and new discoveries in science are made pos sible. The accumulated savings of the world, in so far a they exist in Europe, are being destroyed as fast as possible. By this destruction the world will be set back inevitably. Any American, living outside the zone of general de struction, who saves money now will help by so much to counteract this setback of civilization. It seems to be the same old story the world over. Brazil's revenues are reported tff be wholly inadequate. HAITI'S CURSE OF GE.VER.US. Reports have it that the outlook for peace in Haiti is growing brighter. But how long will the coming peace prevail? That's the question. If it continues for six months, all recent records will be broken. The trouble in Haiti is that there are so many gen erals that there isn't enough govern ment swag to make the rounds and provide all of them and their entour ages with the easy living to which they think they're entitled. In the uncertain weather battle in Kansas, General Showers seem to have forced General Rain into a back seat for the time being. FARMERS' INSTITUTES. Both the number of farmers' in stitutes held each year and the atten dance at these meetings is steadily in creasing, according to a report on farmers' institute work which has just been published by the United States department of agriculture as bulletin No. 269. During the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1914, the report states, 25,238 of these Institutes were held throughout the country, with a total attendance of 3,656,381. This is an increase in attendance of 26 per cent over that of any previous year. On the other hand, the expense of con ducting the work was nearly $63,000 less than last year, the total cost for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, being J447.897.51. The farmers' in stitute organization conducts its work under many different forms so that it is almost impossible to summarize its activities briefly. For example, in addition to the ordinary meetings, there were movable schools in 13 states which had a registered atten dance of 112,498 different people. Field demonstration meetings were also held in 15 states although no rec ord of the attendance was kept. Spec ial railroad trains were organized in 17 other states for the purpose of giv ing lectures and demonstrations. Another thing that has been ac complished by the fall- of Warsaw Is the evident opening of the eyes of the British people to'.the seriousness of the situation confronting them. DIET UNDER WAR CONDITIONS. The European war has changed the supply of readily available foods, and brought about an enforced movement toward a partial vegeterian diet, in place of the more extensive use of meats, eggs, butter and wheat pro ducts. These changes, being the sub ject of governmental regulation and enforcement, place new restrictions on the dietary of the sick. It sounds strange to our ears to hear that pa tients are actually required to have a prescription or permit to enable them to procure wheat flour or wheat bread for the preparation of toast. The re finements of cookery, along with the modern mlllingof the various grains and the preparation of dried vege tables, are likely to eliminate in part the wide distinctions between animal and vegetable products. This is in harmony with the success of numer ous sanatoriums conducted on vege tarian principles in matters of diet. The various devices of the German army for furnishing suitable food to ths troops in action are responsible for tha unimpaired health of many per sons- Fresh meats, potatoes and vegetables poorly cooked by the in dividual soldier under the stress of army conditions are certain to lend to dyspeptic diarrhotas and irritations. the forerunners of infectious inva sion. Experience in former wars abundantly verifies this statement. says the Journal of the American Medical association. But the present field kitchens of the German army, the "Gulaschkanonen," as they have been fancifully called, have furnished foods that are cooked with great thor oughnes3, so that they are readily comminuted and then easily digested. The lessons of this diet service may well appeal to us. Nor is it at all appropriate that Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria should have a chill at a time when his troops are staging such dazzling performances in the eastern arena of the war. ATTACKS ON THE CONSTITUTION. A few Athenians, writes Lenn J. Oare in the August Case and Com ment, became tired of hearing Arls tides called "The Just," and united in a movement to ostracize him. Some of our citizens evidently have become tired of hearing the constitution praised and reverenced by so many millions of free people, and have de termined upon Its destruction. Rant ing politicians and demagogues are directing their energies in arousing the passions and prejudices of the masses, in stirring up class hatred, in expounding sophistries of government. "The rich are growing richer and the poor poorer," they say, "and there fore we should have the recall of a judge who supports that ignominious document, the constitution of the United States." This is about the kind of a Eyllogism they employ. They have no hesitation in changing the laws of thought in their bold attempt to destroy the Constitution. With them, any means will justify the end. If a writer wishes to write a book on government, he chooses to follow the same line of criticism. Otherwise his book would net little or no royalty. Montesquieu's "The Spirit of the Laws," Hamilton's "Federalist," and Woodrow Wilson's "The State," are duet covered and shelf worn, but Myer's "History of the United States Supreme Court" is being read and elo quently quoted In the press and on the platform. Criticism may be de serving, and the proper kind of criti cism may lead to constructive states manship. We must recognize the wave of dissatisfaction about us, analyze the cause if possible, and seek to erad icate the evils from our governmental institutions, but without destroying a constitution that is the result of the political thought of centuries, and which has served our country so well during a period of national growth heretofore unknown to the world.

Don't swat the fly it's not humane, pleads the La Harpe Enterprise. Just bathe it daily in some good antiseptic, or provide it with overshoes and teach it to leave them on the porch before joining you in the dining room. It is safe to assume that Marshal Jones of La Harpe is equipped with a luxuriant growth of lengthy white whiskers. The La Harpe Enterprise reports: Marshal Jones looked a ver itable "Father Time," this week as. with a scythe, he made war on the neglected weeds. Some tangible evidence that the rain falls on the just as well as the unjust. The Jennings Echo reports: "A num ber of those who attended church Sun day evening were caught in the rain that came up very suddenly." And it is safe to assume that most of the un just in Jennings were ensconced in their homes about this time. So, as a matter of fact, it would seem reason able to argue that rain, under some circumstances, raps the just worse than it does the unjust. We have heard that there were a few pretty large fish in the Solomon river, but we had no idea that it was necessary to use a whole horse for bait to catch them, says the Portis In dependent.

Wm. brought the horse over and had Dr. Lemon remove the hook. We got this story from Bud Paxton. How can a man say that a woman has nothing to do? asks the Culver Record, arid it points out: In one year she gets dinner 865 times, washes the dishes 1,095 times, gets the children ready for school twice a day for 180 days, puts the baby to sleep 1,460 I times, and makes 300 calls. As she wishes for something she hasn't every minute, she wishes for sixty things an hour or 525,600 things in a year. Who says that a woman has nothing to do? Were there anything in a name, it would be reasonable to urge that there was a hot time at the picnic sup- per given this week at Manchester, Dickinson county, at which Mrs. Alex Mustard and Miss Minne Mustard were the hostesses.

On the other hand, some investiga tions are made just to give the report ers something to write about.

If it were as easy to construct as it is to criticize, Rome would have been built in half a day. If it were as easy to do. something worthwhile as it is to poke fun at something worth while, we shouldn't have to wait long for the millennium. The girl who thinks it Is clever to criticize was turning over the pages of a magazine, "Not a story here that isn't commonplace," she snapped. An article on the girl in the office came in for her disdain next, "Never read anything so silly in my life. Such overstatements! No girl would dream of leaving fifteen minutes early every night, they certainly don't in our of fice" (as if that settled it for the rest of the world). The column for young girls in need of advice she fairly sniffed at. 'Imagine anyone actually writing in and telling such intimate things as these girls do. I don't doubt they make up the letters in the office" (she should see my mail). In the housekeeping department she ridiculed the color scheme sug gested for the living room with all the cynical superiority of a girl who once studied art for one year. On the fashion page she picked out one rather unattractive hat and held up the whole page to ridicule on the strength of that. After she had laid the magazine down I picked it up. and oh, there was so much good in it! Mind you, I don't mean there was nothing to criticize. Far from it. But there certainly wasn't everything to laugh at and criticize and nothing to praise and appreciate. I am not fool ish enough to say that you shouldn't criticize a thing unless you yourself are capable of doing better. As the criticized critic says, "One does not have to be able to lay an egg in order to be capable of detecting a bad one." nevertheless, I think haphazard scorn ful criticism often arouses a feeling of antagonism in the listener, which makes him want to say. "Of course you are much wiser and better than these you criticize." Girls of a certain age sometimes get into the habit of saying sharp critical things about everything and every body that they come Into contact with. It is so easy, it gives one such a feel ing of superiority, and it is such a re lief to any feeling of temper and an noyance anyone may have. They do not realize how sophormoric if not positively ill natured it all sounds until they meet some one else with the same habit, and perhaps even then they criticize instead of recognizing the fault. I said "girls of a certain age," but the fault is far more common than that. We are all liable to it, any of us may drift Into it if we do not watch and listen to ourselves. Be ready to catch yourself when you find criticisms coming too readily to your tongue, and having caught yourself, put that unruly member on parole and put the probation officer of your self restraint in charge of him to see that he does not repeat the of fense.

The Evening Story Cupid In the Credit Department. (By Catharine Cranmer.) Returning from the files with an armload of correspondence, John Grover halted suddenly as he ap proached his desk. Between the up per rim of his spectacles and bis bushy, gray eyebrows he stared out at the small, white Diaue-clad young wo man who was perched upon the wood en railing that inclosed his depart ment. She was swinging one tiny foot and Just barely managing to toucn the floor with the toe of the other. She hopped down with the lightness of a sparrow, tucked her head ae' murely and flashed her brown eyes in a way that made a passing bookkeeper so oblivious to where he was going that he bumped squarely into the pres ident of the firm. The girl gave a half-smothered giggle, and Grover frowned disgustedly as he dumped the correspondence on to his desk. "I'm Lydia Raymond, the new sten ographer," said the now sedate young woman. "Mr. Wilson brought me over, but he was called away to the" telephone." "Wilson's a bird when it comes to hiring help," muttered Grover, of whom it was alleged around the office that his middle name was Grouch. Turning toward Lydia, he grudgingly extended a pudgy hand. "Grover s my name," he said bluntly. "You'll find notebooks and pencils in that desk there, and we always find plenty of work to do in this credit depart ment?" "Oh, just as easy!" And Lydia smil ed bewitchingly, but it was pearls ben fore swine, for Grover dldn t see the smile. Feeling that no smile should be wholly lost, she gave the very tip end of that one to a salesman who stood outside the railing, and Grover looked uo just in time to see it. "All right, now; let s start on this pile and we II see what you call easy. And Grover launched into his most vigorous dictation pace while Lydia's fingers flitted over the pages, leavirTg hieroglyphics that he wondered whether she would ever be able to read. He decided to have her run of? a few letters at once to see whether she really possessed skill or was mere ly faking it. With only an occasional glance at her machine she clicked out the letters speedily, and to his surprise their neatness and accuracy made him sigh with relief. As he looked up from the last letter he found Lydia sitting wth her hands clasped around one knee and lookng straight at him. She began to move her body in an em barrassed rhythm, tucked her head a bit lower and smiled up at him. I m awfully glad you aren t grouchy," she said, with childish can dor. "At first I thought you were the very man who put the 'ouch' in grouch, but I guess it was just a Mon day morning grouch, wasn't it?" I guess we haven t got time to talk nonsense; look at this pile of work." Lydia turned her head and frowned just a little. "Oh, but look how well we work to gether! I'll tell you what let's do," enthusiastically. "Let's work real fast and get that whole pile finished and then we'll take the 'ouch' out of grouch, and put the 'sense' in non sense. Shall we? "We might," said Grover, with an awkward smile and a bungling move ment to get hold of a letter that would give him a chance to fasten his eyes somewhere. A month after Lydia's advent the credit department was running so smoothly that John Grover went about wearing a satisfied expression that was a nine days' wonder to the ob servant office force. He had even been seen to look pleasant a few times. Ly dia's smiles were of countless frequen cy and of countless kinds of charm. but there came a rainy, malarial morn ing late in August when she came droopingly to her desk, with swollen eyes and a colorless face. She tried to smile as they began their morning work, but made such a pitiful failure that Grover pushed the pile of letters away and looked intently at her. 'Child, there s something wrong, can I be of any help?" I m afraid you can t, for I ve spoiled everything." Two tears splashed on her notebook before she could find her handkerchief. Then she continued: Last night when Clarence started home, Clarence is, you know, or was my, my "Yes, yes, I know; and what did he do?" "Oh, I was the one to do the mis chief. Clarence said if I didn't take off a suffrage pin I was wearing he wouldn't wouldn't bid me good-night. I said I'd promised Miss Bee to wear the pin a week and tell her what peo ple said about it. He said suffragists were a lot of old cats who went around saying spiteful things about men, and I told him the men returned the spite ful things with interest when their turn came. Then he said I was get ting crazier every day, and that he wouldn't be surprised to see me marching in a parade, and if I'd rather public streets than to be his wife at I nome, wnere j. oeiongea, just to go ahead, but that he wouldn't listen any longer to my nonsense. I didn't say a word then, but after a while I said, "There doesn't seem to be any non sense to listen to except when you are talking.' He whirled around and rushed out of the door, and I was choking with giggles. But," the tear ful voice concluded, "after I'd waited a long time and he didn't come back, I looked down at that old pin and just boo-hooed." "Well, what in the dickens does that ranting suffragette mean by placard ing you as one of her kind?" growled Grover. "Oh, but Miss Bee doesn't rant, and she isn't a freak, and she knows near ly everything. I asked her once if her head didn't ache from holding so much She's a public stenographer and makes loads of money, and she's going to build her own home in two years. She says she wants women to learn about business and tc have suf frage and everything like that, for the more they know about things outside the home, the more they'll appreciate a. good home. And she says when men get use to seeing women in busi ness and politics they'll stop ranting about every woman being a freak who doesn't do everything just as her grandmother did. She says she'd love to have a husband with" a mind big enough to let go of some of his preju dices, but she'd rather live and die alone than to have one with a mind so. little he is afraid to change it for fear he'll lose it." "Well, I don't know but she's partly right, after all," mused Grover. "And there she is, right this min ute!" exclaimed Lydia. "She must be bidding on that big mimeograph job in our advertising department. Goody, she's coming over to speak to me." John Grover grew red and Beatrice Morris grew pale when they were in troduced by Lydia. who didn't know until afterward that they had parted ten year3 ago much as she and Clar ence had parted only the night before She had her first inkling of it when John Grover broke the embarrassed silence which followed the first formal greetings. "Beatrice," he began, haltingly, "I've changed my mind this morning about several things, but I didn't lose it, and I won't f you'll let me build a home for you now instead of build ing one yourself two years later." Of course, he had not meant to say that, but after it was said it had to be an swered, and Beatrice gave an answer that was as satisfactory to him as it was surprising to her. Grover turned abruptly to the astonished Lydia. "Ring up that young rascal of a Clarence," he commanded, "and ask him to make one of a luncheon party of four at Sherry's at 12 o'clock to day." The last remark of Lydia's tele phone conversation was this "And we're going to put all kinds of "sense" in nonsanse!" (Copyright, 1915, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Quite the same kind of a cellar that Mrs. Tommy and I lived in but of course it isn't like that! Let me see I think I can get in this way." Tommy was just crawling up by the side of the door ready to slip into a hole he had spied, when who should hop 'k-plump by his side but Mr. Garden Toad! "Hello th-jre.

I am trying to explore this cellar while the garden creatures are napping. Don't wake anybody up. I want to get down in the cellar and back up again while they are still asleep." "Now what in the world do you want to go down there for, I'd like to know?" asked the tcad curiously. "Because it is a wonderful place," repiled Tommy. "Haven't you heard I all the talking about It?

It may sound like a dream, to talk about paved roads through the country, but the time is coming when the main highways through this country will be properly graded and built of concrete. The time is com ing when the people will find that it will cost less to construct concrete roads through the country than to drive and haul toads over dirt roads. The day is coming when the people will discover that the saving in horse flesh, the saving in wear and tear of vehicles, the saving in gasoline for cars, the saving in time on drives, the increased load made possible and the advantages to be gained by having roads good under all weather condi tions, will more than offset the cost of grading and concreting the main high ways.

Either way it looks like a hard winter for the men, who are pa tient and long-suffering, particularly the married men, to whom the new burden will return. Of course the women may insist a married man should provide a maid to attend to such little chores, but the high cost of living woon't permit it, and he might as well steel himself for the worst. The Fashion Art League of America has issued its decree con cerning the fall fashions, and it is along the line or spinal column set forth' above. And what fashion de crees, woman adopts as a necessity or a blessed privilege, and mere man must aid and abet her if the occasion seems to demand it. as in the case of the gown with a rear entrance. And throughout the bracing fall and on through a hard winter, he shall play his part patiently, and hear that his fingers are all thumbs, and that he is an impatient brute, and ought to be ashamed to use such language in the presence of the children, and other slings and arrows of an outraged wife, which shall be as solacing as salt to his wounded feelings. But the women won't worry about a little matter like that, and they needn't, for the men are rabbits, and, whatever fashion de crees, man will pay the bills the best he may, and even act as milady's maid without resort to open rebellion. He may act the brute, and beef a bit, and hate the fashion dictators, but he wants the woman of his choice as fashionable as circumstances permit, lest he be led to regret that choice, and devote too much attention to the street parade, and other attractions. Atchison Globe. From Other Pens THE JOY OF LIVING. We are told that happiness comes by pieces, and that it is these small bits linked together that make our lives worth while. Some of us are not content to take our happiness by de grees or at intervals. We want it all the time in big pieces, and if we can not have it that way we think that we are deprived of our natural rights and look upon ourselves as injured beings. It is a rather singular expression of human nature how happiness affects the individual. With some of us it makes us friendlier toward others and anxious that they should experience like joys; with others it makes us too satisfied with ourselves to think very much of our neighbors. Perhaps those of us who know what the joy of living means have experienced both of these attitudes at different periods of our' lives and are in position, therefore, to appreciate a varying viewpoint, but even so it is only after we lose some thing of that joy of living and have found out for ourselves that there are shadows which no amount of sunlight can disperse that we can really ap preciate the blessing of whatever hap piness may find its way into our lives. The little things that count so much in our intercourse with each other are not always, regarded as highly as they should be, and for this reason we pass by much that would give us Joy if we only knew how and where to find it.

OF FISH Plan to Whitewash Big Sign on the Summit. Sot en I A'icilnrs Wont Out Frnm I Town on Sunday. Camp life is appealing strongly to "the group of boys at the Central Y. M. C. A. camp on Buffalo Aiound i near Maple Hill. While the boating and fishing and games are making things interesting for the youngsters, the thing that seems really to make the most profound impression is the daily allowance of "Bob" Graham's biscuits. Bob Graham is a veteran camp cook and the most popular individual on Buffalo Mound. "Eat? I should say we do," remarked Harry Jungk, Charles Anderson was fined $30 in police court this morning by Judge Yates on a charge of drunkenness. SaU rday night about 9:30 o'clock a battle between Anderson and Officers McGovern and Hobson was witnessed by at least 2,000 persons. The police men tried to arrest Anderson without hurting him and without the use of their clubs. A call was sent to the police station for the reserves and the two thousand onlookers saw some quick action on the part of the police. Richards and Morsran. motorcop and detective, ar rived on the scene and promptly "sat on" the fighting drunk who began to beg. The disturbance took place be tween Fifth and Sixth streets. Johnny Ever Won't Quit Yet. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 9 Johnny Ev- ers. star of the Boston Nationals, world's baseball champions, will not close his baseball career with the close of the present St. Louis-Boston series, as has been reported. Evers made this statement to The Associated Press here Sunday night: "I shall do noth ing in the matter until I see James E. 1 Xsri Fishing Is Good Along Mill Ci eek Just Below the "Y" Camp. one of the boys. "Bob Graham's cooking would tempt me to stay here the whole summer." Pishing is good on Mill creek below the camp. Since the camp started, August 6, the boys have caught twen ty pounds of channel catfish. Whitewash u Sign. Up to Sunday the boys had spent a good deal of time in getting the camp in order. In another day or two they will whitewash the big "Y. M. C. A." sign near the summit of Buffalo Mound which was made with stones by De Witt Lee and his camp boys a year or two ago and which can be seen from a distance of several miles. There were a dozen visitors from Topeka at the camp Sunday. Al though H. H. Tugh brought out some "cold stuff" he was given a warm re ception by the boys the ice cream went to the right spot. Dr. P. J. Ernest took out an auto load of six persons. Trail of Signs. The big end of the camp as far as fun is concerned is yet to come. As a culminating feature there will be a treasure hunt. A trail will be "set" by Roland Seibert, boys' secretary in charge of the camp, and William Bun ton, his assistant. The trail will be of bits of paper, signs cut in the ground, broken twigs, etc. There will be three pegs buried underneath the ground where the treasures will be hidden. The boys will stick their staves where they believe the pegs to be situated. The prizes will consist of a scout ax. and two books. There will be several hikes to neighboring towns before the camp is broken up at the close of two weeks. The camp fires will be an enjoyable feature. The baseball diamond in front of the tents is in good condi tion. Water Is Clear. The water in Mill creek is clearer than usual, due possibly to the fact that the mud has been washed from the creek bottom. There are three boats available, and boating and fishing are popular amusements at camp. The camp is under strict supervision and the leaders know at all times what the boys arc doing. Boys at camp include: Charlie Ren shaw, Joy Bullis, Elliott White, John Kinkel. Paul Kinkel, Henry Anton, Joseph Schneider, Harry Jungk, Parry Gaffney, owner of the club," Evers said. "I shall go to Philadelphia next Wednesday night and will talk mat ters over with Mr. Gaffney. Until then I can say no more about this matter." RAID SLAVERS' DEN? Police Investigate Place at 2134 Qutn-e- Manuel David Taken. The houpe at 2134 Quincy street, claimed bv the police to have been the den of white slavers, was raided Sat urday evening by a squad of detec tives and patrolmen, led by Chief Harvey Parsons and Mayor J. E. House. Only one man was arrested. He is booked at the police station as Manuel David on a charge of keep ing and maintaining a nuisance. Evidence that the house had been recently occupied by a number of women and men was found. Five bot tles of beer and several empties were found in the basement. Chief Par sons believes that the "gang" received a tip of the raid and made its getaway just before the arrival of the police. David's hearing will be held Wednes day. STATE FAIR STAMPS.

"That gas oxygen does not produce the 'blue' babies so often born under scopolamin. "That cases are 100 per cent free from fatalities, with no possibility of dangeicus reaction upon mother or child." Dr. Wood said further: "Save for her inability to feel pain, the mother remains almost in a nor mal condition while her baby is born." Garrison Hurt In Auto Race. Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 9.

Pollock wanted a. chance to cross examine the witnesses and asked that they be called. The hearing was then adjourned until August 31. and the governor will seek to forie the attendance of Zim mer through the issuance of a sub poena. HOUSE CALLS A HALT. The Mayor Stops the Annual Fight Over the Budget. to to of i ho will V.b asked some embar rassing questions, it is asserted. Is suance t subpoenas for leBwlat'vc members and persons attendant dur ing the recent session, is also regarded as significant by persons in touch with the case. In this connection, it is also stated that the mysterious aiciagrdp" record from Zimmer's room in lo- peka will be proauceu. T..-ian..Hi T Attacked. Pollock started his fight today by an attack on the governor s jurisdic tion in the case. He contended that the law under wnicn me prurtcuiu were brought had been repealed in 1911 and that the chief executive of the state had no authority to act. This attack seemed to puzzle the governor. He is a newspaper publisher and a business man not a lawyer. "l looked appealinsly at General Brew- ster 1 would like to know about the legal phase of this," he aid. 'It is up to you to go ahead or quit, caul Brewster, who left the matter, just where he found it. But the governor wanted more light. "Personally, I don't think there is anything in it." replied Brewster. "Then I overrule the motion," an nounced the governor. Was Pollock disconcerted or disap pointed? Not in the least.- He noted an exception, reached for another pa per and with the air of a iJick Hite announced another objection. Ths new objection was something 1st. It recited thr.t the governor was ,1 w .wl (i n j 1 rtii;:i n that? hA had decided tne case in advance of the taking of testimony, had announced his plan to separate Zimmer from his job and had already determined on a successor. In support of this motion to dismiss the case. Pollock read the governor's letter to Zimmer under date of April 30, asking for his resig nation. He also read a copy of a pur ported letter to Don C. Greenman of Parsons stating that the Kansas City election probe would furnish some work for the grand jury, but stating that Zimmer should have a fair trial. Overruled Again. Governor Capper waited patiently. He promptly overruled this objection and Pollock as promptly reached for No. 3. "Is there any formal or written complaint against Mr. Zimmer?" asked Pollock. "We have a number of affidavits on file," replied the governor. Pollock then moved that the case be dismissed on the ground that no formal complaint was filed. Governor Capper was maintaining a batting average cf 1,000. He over ruled this objection without winking an eylash. Next Pollock wanted the case ditch ed because the defendant was not served with copies of the affidavits or complaint. Again the motion was overruled. Pollock had gone to the state house with a stenographer and an exception was noted to each act of the governor. As the next cause for dismissal. Pol lock asserted that the complaint should be more definite and certain. Gover nor Capper thought not and waived aside this objection. For a change, Pollock read a spec ific and rather general denial to all of the eleven charges against Zimmer's official record. In conclusion he asked that the case be dismissed. Overruled. The complaint does not constitute a cause of action. Pollock urged. Objection overruled. Brewster Breaks In. At this stage of the game Brewster broke up the proceedings by inquiring if Zimmer was present. "Does Zimmer appear here in per son or by attorney?" Brewster in quired. "I can't say until we learn the na ture of the evidence," replied Pollock. Brewster: "We desire to call as our. first witness Mr. Zimmer. Shall we issue a subpoena or will he appear? Will the governor please call Mr. Zim mer." Pollock started to argue and the governor started to call. "Will he be here or won't he?" asked the irritated Brewster. "We want to hear the nature of the charges before we know, whether we should appear," Pollock explained. Brewster was not inclined to argue. He asked that Zimmer. be summoned. And while he was asking for a sub poena, he decided to ask for several. "Better subpoena Senator Carney, Senator Sutton and W. P. Feder," sug gested the attorney general. Governor Capper also had a few suggeUons. He added the names of Father J. A. Murphy, of Topeka, Rep resentatives Albert Hoskinson, of Fln ney county, ana Harry Brice, of Gray county. He also wanted Z. G. Hop kins, of Topeka, in charge of the free employment department of the state labor bureau. Senator Carney lives in Concordia, Cloud county; while Senator Sutton lives in St. John, Stafford county. W. P. Feder was formerly secretary to the public util ities commission. He formerly lived in Great Bend. "We have the testimony taken in Kansas City, too," explained Brewster, i Just before a meeting of the city commission drew to a close today Jay E. House, mayor, announced that he desired to make a speech. "Gentlemen," he began, "I under stand that it has been the custom of the city commissioners to mill around two or three weeks at each budget making time in an attempt to reach in agreement. I see no necessity for this. Of the five members of the city commission, the mayor, the commis sioner of water and lighting and the commissioner of parks are the only ones asking for increases in their budget allowances. These increases total approximately $21,000 more than can be legally raised for the general fund, whic hmeans that $21,000 must be cut out of the total of budget re quests somewhere. "I have voluntarily reduced my bud get request $6,000. It is u to the commissioner of parks and the com missioner of water and lighting to make the other necessary reductions. The matter is up to them alone and I see no necessity for the rest of us to mix in the matter. I suggest that Mr. Newland and Mr. Porter get together this afternoon and settle the matter without bothering the rest of us." There was a silence in which Porter and Newland appeared to be measuriig each other. "I am ready to knock off $6,000," said Porter. "I am ready to knock off $7,000," replied Newland with the air of one "raising the ante." "That leaves $2,000 or $3,000 more to be pruned somewhere yet," replied the mayor. "So get your knives and go at each other this afternoon and settle it between you. It is up to you two, so do not bring your troubles to the rest of us." This afternoon Porter and Newland were closeted together "knifing"' each other. TUMULTY IS RILED Peeved Buchanan Told to Cut His Dogs Loose. White House Makes Public "Peace Council" Letters. Washington, Aug. 9. The White House today made public correspond ence with Representative Buchanan, of Illinois, who asked for a confer ence with President Wilson for labor's national peace council and who, when it was refused on the ground that the president had no time for other than international affairs, wrote Secretary Tumulty that the refusal was "tanta mount to a declaration that the presi dent is more concerned about the de sires of big business than he is to dis cover the heartfelt "sympathy of the common people." Buchanan added that if he could not see the president he would issue an open letter to the American peo ple. Secretary Tumulty wrote Buch anan he resented the tone of his let ter and the "unwarranted inferences" drawn by the president's inability to see him. "As far as I am concerned," wrote Mr. Tumulty, "there is no objection to any statement you may desire to make public in this matter." PEPPMYER DAM IS OUT The Time and Manner of Its Going Are Unknown. ENVOY OF RUSSIA WILL DRAFT TRADE COMPACT WITH U. S. DR. LUUhSAMARITAN. County Physician Continues to Do Charity Work for the City. Dr. C. C. Lull, county physician, continues to do -charity work for the city of Topeka by caring for-injured or sick persons that are brought in by the police. Doctor Lull has been do ing this work of treating emergency cases for ne.-rly a year and ever since H. B. Wood, the city health officer. wno came irora the health depart ment of Chicago took his office as city physician. Mr. Wood is not a licensed physician in the state. Last week the city commissioners stated that they wanted Doctor Lull to handle the cases for the city and would make arrangements with him. These arrangements have not yet been made and the work is "being done ty Doctor Lull 'from -a 'purely-"humanitarian standpoint. The hiring of Doc tor Lull by the city, if it is done, will necessarily lighten the burdens of Mr. Wood, the city health officer, who re. ceives $150 a month for his services.? PREMIER OKUMA STICKS Emperor Authorizes Withdrawal of His Resignation. The Peppmyer dam isn't. Residents of the Eastside know all about the Peppmyer dam. Some know even more than they might admit. The dam "went out" last night. But neither fiood nor high water carried it away. Dynamite might have been used, but those who viewed the ruins today were not certain just what had happened. There were not ruins enough to tell. The only reason for believing that dynamite was used is that dynamite was more or less openly discussed as a means for quick action. before the attack on the dam was made. The Peppmyer dam was really a very small affair considering the amount of attention it received. It was jo cated on Shunganunga creek near Tenth street. H. L. Peppmyer, who has a cool yard located near Tenth street and the Shunganunga. made a deal with the Eastside Drain age toard, whereby Peppmyer was to receive two and one-third acres of ground from the drainage board for cutting a canal 450 feet across a neck of land, changing the course of the creek. The purpose of the dam was to oivert th ewater into the new channel The dam was sixteen feet long and four feet high. Residents of the Eastside objected and George Burnam, chairman of the board, says he called on Peppmyer and the latter agreed to cease work on the dam. That the dam, which .had not been completed, had been de stroyed, was discovered today. It is believed the work was aone aunaay night. BRAZIL ENVOY.: v Continued from Page One.1 Tokio, Aug. 9.

The development is a Very disturbing one for the success of the Pan-American conference. Officials who were hoDinar Carranza would join a peace conference with his adversaries and meet the efforts of the Pan-American nations to settle the factional strife were much disappointed. Trouble Long Brewing. It was said by Carranza agents that neither the Guatemalan minister nor the Brazilian minister had been on good terms with Carranza, and that it had been Carranza's intention to hand the Brazilian minister his passports as soon as he again re-occupied Mexico City. The participation of Brazil and Guatemala in the Pan-American con ference, they said, brought Carranza's resentment to a climax. It was recalled that Castro, the dic tator of Venezuela, took much the same action when offended by foreign nations pressing for a settlement of affairs in his country. State department advices today said General Carranza was making hurried preparations to move his capital from Vera Cruz to Mexico City. Archives and clerks had been moving to the capital since Friday. The impression in Mexico circles here is that Carranza proposes to establish himself in Mex ico City and probably proclaim him self president in the face of the Pan American effort to bring the factions together. Warships for Ministers. American naval commanders at Vera Cruz have been ordered to place a warship at the disposal of the two diplomats, if they wish it. There are four gunboats in that vicinity, the Wheeling and Machias at Tampico, the Marietta at Progreso, and the Sacra mento, on which the senior officer, Commander McNamee, has his flag, is at Vera Cruz. Secretary Lansing said he was con sidering American representations in Mexico City, in view of the departure of the Brazilian minister, but he did not "know what would be done. He assumed, however, that American dip lomatic affairs would be in a "sort of a state of quiescence" in Mexico City. The reasons for the Brazilian min ister's visit to the United States at this time, the secretary said, were un known to him. With the conference between Secretary Lansing and the Latin-American diplomats over the Mexican situation in recess, ad ministration officials today again turned their efforts toward perfection of new appeal to the factional leaders which will embody a plan for perma nent peace and will go forward with the approval and backing of the six governments participating in the con ference. A tentative draft of appeal already has been sent to President Wilson at Cornish. N. H., and it was indicated every effort would be made to have it in acceptable form when the con ference is resumed. Secretary Lansing announced today that the conference would be resumed In New York city Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Biltmore hotel. He said he did not know how prolonged the conference would be. Forced Loa ns Barred. El Pa30, Aug. 9. H. C.

Every afternoon at 1 o'clock: there is a meeting of what is known as the "sawdust senate." This is composed of a committee of twenty clowns selected from the entire army of jesters. The "editor" makes his report to this body and they discuss it and. select those ideas which may be turned to account on the hippodrome track. This is the secret of the do wn-to- the-minute performances of the Ringling Brothers' skylarkers. There is not a fad of dress, dance or unusual innovation which they do not portray in some ludicrous manner. They pan tomime public and political events, but I with so much good humor that the bitterest of factionists pound each other on the back and roar with laughter. The clowns do not fear to enter the land of invention, but in troduce gaudy painted airs hi pe which skim around in the tent top and ex plode while in mid-air. They flit around the hippodrome track in quetr looking racins .cars and high-speed motor boats. They throw terrible looking but quite innocent bombs, and shoot each other from big wooden cannons.

Many of the season's frocks are trimmed with th-? useful and effective black velvet ribbon, a much favored fashion of trimming years ago.

Miss Mae Josephine Bennett, twenty-two, a granddaughter of Henry C Bennett, forty years ago a political editor in San Francisco, appeared as "Venetia, the Goddess of Song," in a Venetian night carnival given at the Panama-Pacific exposition on "newspapermen's day." Miss Bennett has been adjudged one of the most beautiful girls in America, and recently was chosen as one of the three most perfectly formed pi.'ls in the world. alone. The front of the blouse is nearly concealed by two wide revers of the voile, hemstitched and trim med with large pearl buttons. A band of black velvet ribbon holds a -iouble pleating of organdy at the lower edge of the sleeve. The vest is of tucked white organdy.

Mr. and Mrs. Whitney have recently come to Topeka from Kansas City, to make their home here. They are liv ing at 1208 Mulvane street. A discovery has been made that is calculated to bring comfort to the poor dear women seeking recreation at summer resorts or spending week ends at Lake View. It has been as certained that there is a queer little quirk in the psychological processes of a mosquito. He does not like yellow colored hose. Xot long ago at a picnic party, the girls of the company were greatly distressed by the gnawing fangs of the little beast that hovers wherever there is standing water. They were constantly obliged to re tire to secluded spot to dig at the welts rising beneath their silken hose of black and white and pink and green and blue. One girl of the crowd wore yellow stockings, and never a bite did she get. Thereafter, the oth er girls donned yellow hose when they went forth to the greenwood to live the simple life near the heart of Na ture. The result is that they are find ing no new torments and have only to heal the lacerated flesh of wounds re- ceived in earlier encounters with the bug terrible. A number of girls had a dinner party at the National hotel, followed by a slumber party at the home of Miss Hazel Boast, Saturday night. The members of the company were: Miss Florence Kowe, Miss Mary Summers. Miss Helen Fulton, Miss Margaret Sharp, Miss Gertrude Russell, Mrs. Olcott Sage and Mrs. Wayne Horning. f 4 Goodwin's Weekly, of Salt Lake City, is responsible for the following story: Recently on a liner bound for New York from England, a baby was born down in the steerage when the boat was a few hours out. The passengers on the upper deck heard of it, and being informed that the mother was very poor, they took up a collection for her amounting to about $500. When the boat was within a short dis tance of America, the woman ex pressed a desire to thank the passen gers in person and .did so in a few brief remarks which were about as follows: "I want to thank you for myself, for my baby and for my hus band, who lives in America and whom I have not seen for three years." The thanks were duly accepted. The story is vouched for by a number of first cabin passengers of unim peachable authoritv. Notes and Personal Mention. Mr. and Mrs. D. E.

0 V BRINGING UP FATHER ,THE. IN'T THE' TOWER OF JEWELS OUWT WOMDEFWOL? IT1 in uove vith California: IN NORTH TOPEKA Roads Approaching the Town Are in Bad Condition. Erection of a Sew Junction De pot Still Hanging Fire. North Topekans and farmers living north and northeast of the city are aroused. Despite the fact that the roads have been daily petting worse, not only have no steps been taken to get them in shape, but farmers who are compelled to travel them, say that apparently none are contemplated. The Grantville road is practically wiped out and the road lying a half mile north, that has been used as a substitute, is in poor condition. The Mriden road commonly known as the -Sleepy Hollow." is extremely bad, a stretch one mile in length being in such condition that one farmer, who was compelled to traverse it yesterday, declared that he much preferred to cross the Rocky Mountains at their worse point. Farmers are considerably handi capped bv the neglect in putting the roads in shape. Often when a heavy load is being brought to town a wide detour is necessary. Persons, who must use the roads frequently, are particularly irate over the situation because of the small expense incidental to dragging the highways. Until recently the roads were dragged after every rain but this practice has been discontinued. Escapes Delude. While within seven miles the coun try was deluged by rain Sunday aft ernoon and night; North Topeksr es' caped with but a few drops. The north side has suffered particularly from rains this summer and North To pekans are slow to believe that rair. could be anvwhere near their district and pass them by. A light rain would do some good but farmers in the Kaw valley want no more floods this year. No Junction Depot Yet. No steps so far have been taken by the Santa Fe railway to rebuild the depot at the junction that was de stroyed by fire last February. A pass enger coach is serving as a depot and a box car houses the north side of fice force. North Topekans and Santa Fe em ployes at the junction are eagerly awaiting the erection of the new sta tion but have received no intimation from Santa Fe officials as to when the new building will be given them.

Porter, city commis sioner of parks and head of the sani tary department of the city, so an nounced today. "I have ordered a survey of the city made and every place which shcruld be connected with a sewer and is not, will be recorded and the owner of the premises allowed until Jan. 1, 1915, to make sewor connections. After that time I will start a force of men at work making the connections and the cost of such work will be charged as a tax against the property," said Porter. "It is unfair and unreasonable that one man should attempt to live in sol itary surroundings, while his neigh bor is permitted to keep an uncon nected cesspool on the property ad joining. Sewers were made to be used and a state law gives the city author ity to force connections and these con ditions will be forced, if necessary." OAKLAND NOTES.

Many a Business Man who is careful to protect himself in money matters, is careless about health his most valuable asset. For many, coffee drinking silently undermines health, because each cup contains about 212 grains of the cumu lative, harmful drug, caffeine. Five to six grains of caffeine will kill a rabbit or a cat, and repeated daily will cripple a man. How cripple a man? The caffeine, little by little, causes hardening of the arteries and premature old age, showing more in some than in others. Some of the symptoms of caffeine poisoning are head ache, nervousness, biliousness, heart flutter, sleeplessness at night, and "fag" after coffee's reaction in the daytime. The way to avoid all coffee troubles is to leave coffee alone and use Instant Postum the pure food-drink. There's no caffeine nor any other harmful substance in Postum. Made from prime wheat, roasted with a bit of wholesome molasses, it contains all the goodness of the grains, and is nourishing, economical and delicious. There's no "fag" in postum, and "There's a Reason" sold by Grocers. EARN WAY THRU COLLEGE. Students at Fort Hays Cultivate Gar den on Campus- Hays, Kan., Aug. 9.

There is one method, however, that you need not hesitate to use, even on a baby's tender skin that is, the resinol treat ment. Resinol is the prescription of a Baltimore doctor, nut un in the form of resinol ointment and resinol soap. This proved so remarkably successful, that thousands of other physicians have prescribed it constantly for 20 years. Resinol stops itching instantly, and almost always heals the eruption quickly and at little cost. Resinol ointment and resinol soap can be bought at any druggist's, and are not at all expensive.
